The Edge

Cold War Kids released there fifth studio album just last week. Reviews have stated that people feel as if their music has been revamped again and is ready for radio.  A lot have noted that they once again hit a new creative sound. After their strong debut album, Robbers and Cowards, many believe that their popularity began to drop off. The opening tracks, “All This Can Be Yours” a strong piano ballad , “First,” a great clap-along tune, and “Hot Coals” a strong classic piece, highlight all of the bands musical strengths.  A contributing factor may be well partially due to the newer members who are formally from the band, Modest Mouse.  Dann Gallucci, former Modest Mouse guitarist, and Joe Plummer, former drummer, have brought a lot to the                                                                table & are shaping the way to a promising future for the band.
